Sorry to bring up a subject which has probably been covered many times.
Is there a standard for Japanese (Kanji) charater codes?

More importantly, though, is there any good software for doing Kanji
display and/or editing (w.p. stuff) that runs on a PC compatible? If there
are some good articles for me to look at, I would certainly appreciate
a reference.

Thanks very much.

Yes, there are several. The most notable ones are JIS, Shift-JIS and
EUC. The most widely used Kanji code on MS-DOS is Shift-JIS, which is
also known as mskanji (note the "ms").

I believe several articles have been posted to sci.lang.japan about
Kanji on MS-DOS. Perhaps you should try posting your questions there.

I might point out that the three codes mentioned are actually different
formats of the same encoding, and so it is not very difficult to convert
between them.

i don't know if it's good, since i'm not japanese, i never
tried it, it just occupies disk space, BUT i have it :-)

you can get it with anonymous uucp from me (see my .sig), as
/src/dos-scheiss/kd100src.arc, written in C, 255KB. please
don't ask me to mail it, i have to pay for mail by the KB.
